CALABASAS : Soka Group to Offer Hikes in Mountains
- Share via
In addition to monthly historical walks, the Friends of Soka University will offer environmental hikes in the mountains surrounding the Calabasas campus.
Led by Juliana Gensley, the hourlong hikes will focus on wildlife and plants commonly found in the chaparral around the university. Gensley, a docent at Topanga and Malibu Creek state parks, has been a naturalist for the Sierra Club.
Friends of Soka University, which already sponsors historical walks of the campus, is a group of local property owners and residents who support a proposed expansion of the school to 4,400 students. Local and national park service officials want to prevent the expansion so that the property can be turned into a public park.
The walks will be held the first Tuesday of every month at 10 a.m. Call (818) 880-4649 for reservations.
